A University of Virginia source said pro rookie left-handed reliever Kyle Crockett of Poquoson has been promoted to Double-A.

Crockett, a former star pitcher for Poquoson High's state champions and U.Va., has been elevated from the Class-A Lake County Captains to another team in Ohio, the Double-A Akron Aeros. That's according to a source cited on thesabre.com, a website that covers U.Va. sports.

Just two months after being chosen in the fourth round by the Cleveland Indians, Crockett rapidly is climbing through their farm system. The 6-foot-2, 170-pounder hasn't recorded a decision or a save, but he has a 0.63 earned-run average in 12 games, spanning a combined 14 1/3 innings in rookie ball with Mahoning Valley and in Single-A with Lake County.

What's more impressive is he has struck out 23 -- more than 1 1/2 per inning -- and walked just three, allowing nine hits.

Flying Squirrels win

Richmond's Flying Squirrels (56-59) scored in the final four innings to pull away and defeat the host Portland Sea Dogs 8-2 in Maine.

Avery was 3-for-3 with a run and two steals, and Wada yielded four hits in five innings for the win as the Tides shut out the Gwinnett Braves 3-0 before 3,377 at Harbor Park.

Steve Johnson, just down from the parent Baltimore Orioles, pitched three innings of one-hit ball. Jairo Asencio, also recently down from Baltimore, pitched the ninth for his 22nd Triple-A save of the year.

Left far behind Durham in the South Division, the Tides (62-56) moved ahead of Pawtucket (61-56) for the IL's wild-card playoff berth. Buffalo (59-57), Lehigh Valley (60-58) and Louisville (60-59) also are in the race.
